Class Experience

In Perfect Pancakes for Kids, students will learn the art of making pancakes from scratch. This hands-on class will introduce kids to essential cooking techniques, including measuring ingredients, mixing batter, and flipping pancakes on the stove. Along the way, they will also learn important kitchen safety tips, such as proper use of cooking utensils and how to handle heat safely.

Students will learn how to:
- Measure and mix ingredients to create the perfect pancake batter.
- Cook pancakes on the stovetop, learning how to flip them with confidence.
- Add creative toppings and designs, letting them personalize their pancakes.
- Practice kitchen safety, including stovetop handling and utensil use.

We will cover a range of beginner cooking topics, such as:
- Basic culinary terms and concepts.
- The importance of accurate measurements in cooking.
- Heat control and timing for cooking pancakes to perfection.
- Fun variations like adding fruit, chocolate chips, or shaping pancakes in creative ways.


This class is designed to be fully interactive and hands-on. Students will follow along with me step-by-step, preparing their pancakes in real-time. We'll begin with a brief introduction to kitchen safety and a review of the ingredients and tools needed. Then, I'll guide students through each stage of the pancake-making process, answering questions and providing tips along the way. Finally, we’ll showcase our pancake creations, and students will have the chance to share their designs and celebrate their successes.


I will teach live via video, demonstrating every step in real time while allowing students to work alongside me. The class is structured for active participation, so students will be cooking during class. Visual learners will benefit from the live demonstrations, and auditory learners will benefit from clear verbal instructions. I will also include brief moments of discussion to explain key concepts like measurement accuracy and safe stovetop use.

 
I take a warm, supportive, and engaging approach to teaching. My focus is on encouraging kids to try new things in the kitchen, build confidence, and have fun while learning. I aim to create a positive and stress-free environment, where students feel comfortable asking questions and trying new techniques. I encourage creativity, and students will have the freedom to personalize their pancakes with different toppings and designs.

  
Learners will have plenty of interaction with me throughout the class. I will provide live, step-by-step guidance as they cook, and students are encouraged to ask questions or request help at any point. At the end of the class, students will share their pancake creations with the group, allowing for a fun and interactive wrap-up discussion where we can all celebrate the results together.

Parental Guidance
In this class students will be using basic kitchen equipment, including a stove or hot plate, for cooking pancakes. Parental supervision is highly recommended during the class, especially when students are using the stove and handling hot surfaces or utensils. A spatula will be used for flipping pancakes, and guidance on proper use will be provided during the class, but close supervision will ensure safety. Additionally, this recipe includes common allergens such as: - Wheat (flour) - Dairy (milk and butter) - Eggs If your child has any food allergies or sensitivities, please feel free to substitute ingredients as needed. For example, you may use a gluten-free flour mix, plant-based milk, or egg substitutes. Please make sure to inform me in advance if you plan to make any modifications so I can provide tailored guidance during the class. Safety is a top priority, and I want to ensure all students have a safe and enjoyable experience!
